Chapter 9: Rocket's Creation

Hey, everyone, welcome back. Any reviews or comments or tips on what to improve would be awesome! All characters, places, items, etc. except for Faroa Village and its citizens and Simon the Rocket Scientist are owned by Nintendo and not by me. Steve the Red Pikmin Trooper is Chuggaaconroy's creation. Thanks for reading.

In the typically quiet and Podunk (get it?) city of Onett in Eagleland, Ness approached the crashed spaceship and sees two figures stumble out.

"Falco! You idiot! You crashed the Great Fox! It's not like we have a million of those just lying around! They cost a lot of money!"

"Well, Fox, you old pal, you were shouting at me the entire time!"

"No, I wasn't! Now where are we?"

"Onett, in Eagleland. Ness piped up.

"Great… Eagleland. It's a long way from the nearest Creator building…" Falco muttered. The Creators, especially the ones who watch over Eagleland, tend to act as if Ness and his home country never existed. Something about legal issues. None of the Creations really know anymore.

"What are you two up to?" Ness asks.

"We're going to go after Star Wolf. We saw them fly off in their Wolfens, and are pretty sure that they're going to steal from the Creators, with King Dedede's plans and such." Fox responded.

"Any scientists around here that could repair our ship, kid?" asked an irritated Falco.

"Um… Oh! Yeah. There's Dr. Andonuts. He's the father of my friend, Jeff. He can help you, I bet."

"Great. Where is he?" asks Fox.

"At home by Stonehenge, probably."

"Huh. That's pretty far…" complains Falco.

"Well, thanks, Ness." Fox nods and walks south, beckoning his partner to join him.

"Wait!" the boy shouts out.

"What?"

"Let me go with you! I can take you there!"

"No, Ness. You'd only be a hindrance. Thanks anyways." Says Fox, walking away.

Ness is irritated at that. He could easily take the duo to Andonuts with his Teleport Β. He could no doubt help them with his wide assortment of PSI abilities, and he's been all over Eagleland, making himself a perfect guide for Fox and Falco.

"PK Fire!" Ness shouts out. The grass in front of Fox and Falco catch aflame.

"Gah!"

"What?"

"PK Thunder!" A ball of electricity shoots Ness straight in front of them.

"PK Rockin'!" A great energy shoots down, and is absorbed by Ness' PSI Magnet.

"I can come with?" asks Ness. Fox and Falco silently nod.

Captain Falcon moves on inward in the base of Team Rocket. He sees a sign for the subterranean laboratory and rushes down the hallway, searching for the stairs.

"Why is it so quiet here?" Falcon says, in his usual loud and cocky tone. He sees an elevator and dashes in.

"Yes! To the lab!" As Falcon anxiously rides the elevator, he hears the Team Rocket motto playing as elevator music. "Nice touch, GB!", he calls out to no one in particular.

Captain Falcon sneaks up to the main lab room and peers into the window. He sees a dozen scientists gathered around a large, liquid filled tank. There seemed to be a living being inside it. The Captain slightly opens the door, enough to listen in to the scientists speaking.

"Dr. Fuji. When will we release the life form?" asks a scientist with short black hair and a goatee. The question was seemingly said to an older man, likely the "Dr. Fuji" in charge of the project.

"It is not time yet. I have a few more tests to run on Mewtwo. Tell the Boss that Mewtwo is near completion, Simon."

"Yes, Dr. Fuji. I will."

Captain Falcon whispers to himself, "Mewtwo? They're creating a Mewtwo? This won't end well…" Suddenly, as if Falcon sensed it, the glass shattered into a million shards. Liquid bursts out, cords snap and the alarm system immediately flared. He escaped. Falcon thought, planning his own escape from the base.

Meanwhile, the Pokémon being held captive hear the alarms and panic.

"What happened?" asked Clefairy.

"I'm scared!"

"Don't be, Togepi. We'll be okay." Comforted Pikachu, himself a little concerned.

"Hyaa! I will use my beautiful and razor sharp sides to break the bars!"

"Staryu! That's not gonna work!" Torchic responded, frustrated with the slightly narcissistic Staryu.

Suddenly, Captain Falcon ran up and saw the Pokémon trapped in the jail. He heard screaming from downstairs. He quickly opened the doors as a psywave from the floor below violently shook the building, the tremor causing one of the bars to fall. Torchic got caught under the bar.

"Help! I'm stuck!"

"I'm coming to help you!" Pikachu called out. Pikachu ran over and removed the bar from Torchic's back. "Run!" Torchic ran,but Pikachu couldn't make it out with her. He got stuck under a pillar that crashed from another one of Mewtwo's psychic blasts.

Falcon, halfway down the hall, turned back to see that the Pokémon were right behind him, but the building was falling apart. Man! What is Mewtwo thinking? Is he that overcome with anger? Falcon thought to himself. He and the Pokémon (except Pikachu) made it out of the building.

Jigglypuff was concerned that Pikachu was left inside. Without the Creators to help him, anything can happen to him… I hope he's alright in there…

The laboratory was ruined. Shreds of papers lying around, desks overturned, metal objects bent in bizarre shapes. All of the scientists were killed with the exception of Simon. Slowly emerging from his hiding spot underneath his desk in the corner of the room, he surveys the surroundings, horrified at the destruction and dead coworkers lying around him. Mewtwo stood in the middle of the room looking at the bloody ground.

'Hello there. You are the sole survivor for a reason. Do not be alarmed by my telepathy. I do not wish you harm at the moment. Well, for a few minutes at least.'

"What? You can talk to me through my mind?"

'It is called telepathy, foolish nerd.'

"Wh ..what do you want from me, Mewtwo?"

'Why did you and your cohorts create me?'

"It was our mission. We were told to do this by Giovanni, our boss. I swear! I just played a small role in this! Don't kill me!"

'Hm… All you humans are the same. Caring about your pathetic lives and your worthless money over every thing else. You don't deserve to live. It was a pleasure.' At that, Mewtwo smirked, and rushed forward and unleashed his Psystrike on Simon, ending the life of the last remaining scientist in the room.

Kirby, after spending a few quiet days at home, realized that King Dedede and Meta Knight had both left Dream Land. He decided he should go and find them. He ran outside and hopped on his Warp Star, soaring off into the vast outer space above him.

To Kirby, nothing (besides eating) was better than riding the Warp Star. Exhilaratingly flying across vast areas on the back of a golden star. It made him feel like he was the greatest, most lucky star warrior / puffball that ever lived. Kirby came across a gigantic deserted spaceship on his way to the Mushroom World.

"Huh?" Kirby wondered aloud. What's in there, he wonders. Kirby flies his Warp Star into the spaceship and begins to explore.

Link wanders through the cave. Where could Ganondorf be hiding in this place? Huh. It's been a while since I've explored a labyrinth like this. Nearly forgot how fun these are for me. Link enters a small, secluded area of the cave when he notices the young angel, Pit, in the corner. He was trapped within the hold of several ropes, which looked stronger than the normal rope for some reason.

"Pit!" Link called out. "What happened to you?" Pit, gagged, could not respond, but shoots Link a glance telling him that he shouldn't be so loud. They could be in grave danger. "Let me get you out of this, Pit." Link pulls out his Master Sword and begins cutting at the ropes.

"Heheheh. Good luck with that, boy. The ropes are magically binding. Only I can cut them."

Link's heart stopped for a second. That voice… That voice haunted Link from the first time he met Ganondorf 8 years ago to now, where Link has had nightmares of the Gerudo King killing the citizens of Castle Town and murdering the King of Hyrule.

"Ganondorf."

"Hello, Link. Happy to see me?" Out of nowhere, Darknuts surrounded and imprisoned Link. When the hero came to, he was in chains on the cave wall, Ganondorf staring him down.

"I will kill you, Ganondorf. Leave Hyrule!"

"Silence, boy. I much prefer you that way."

"You can't silence me, you g…"

Ganondorf cut him off. "Boy. Without the Creators writing stories of your victories and eminent defeat of me," Ganondorf looked really enraged at Link while saying that last bit. "You are powerless to defeat me. I can do whatever I wish to do with you. Let us make your death as agonizing and painful as the 7 times you killed me or my ancestors." The King of Evil pulls out his threatening sword and readies it.

"Goodbye, Hero of Time."
